- Users can find their congressional district by clicking on their location on a map or entering their address to find their district. Currently this app is only built with Colorado data. Users are redirected to a profile page for their Congressional representative. The representative's contact info, recent tweets, and voting summary are listed here. Users can see how often their representative voted differently than their party - and on what types of issues. If there are particular reps that a user wants to keep an eye on, a logged in user can add reps to their favorites list to easily find them again.
